phony sends fake GitHub webhooks.
phony is most commonly used for testing hook and its plugins, but can be used for testing any externally exposed service configured to receive GitHub events (external plugins).
To get an idea of phony's behavior, start a local instance of hook with
this:
go run prow/cmd/hook/main.go
--deck-url=<production deck URL>
--config-path=prow/config.yaml
--plugin-config=prow/plugins.yaml
--hmac-secret-file=path/to/hmac
-github-token-path=path/to/github-token
Once you have a running server that manages github webhook events, generate an
hmac token (same process as in prow), and point a phony pull
request event at it with the following:
bazel run //prow/cmd/phony --
--address=http://localhost:8888/hook
--hmac=<hmac token>
--event=pull_request
--payload="{}"
If you are testing hook and successfully sent the webhook from phony, you should see a log from hook resembling the following:
{"author":"","component":"hook","event-GUID":"GUID","event-type":"pull_request","level":"info","msg":"Pull request .","org":"","pr":0,"repo":"","time":"2018-05-29T11:38:57-07:00","url":""}
A list of supported events can be found in the GitHub API Docs. Some example event payloads can be found in the examples directory.
